The Offline Chair Takes You Off The Grid, In Your Own Living Room

The biggest challenge about going off the grid is the actual going part—you typically have to head pretty far out into the sticks to be truly disconnected from the devices you've become totally addicted to and dependent upon.

The secret is in the special pocket on the chair's side—it's specially designed to block Wi-Fi and even mobile network signals. Once you slip your phone in, you're totally disconnected and free to sit down without any distractions. It means no texts, no emails, no Facebook updates, and no calls.

There's no general purchase information available for the chair, but if you're really desperate to disconnect at home, you can message Nowak for details on a custom job. Or, you know, just turn off your phone for a few hours.
